Soon I have them from last Wednesday just have not had time to load them.

I drained my PVC lines that run to the blumats tonight of most of the nutes and am running straight water from now out. I filled the res with RO water. The OG Kush looks just about done and will most likely get chopped this week end. It is good at 9 weeks and I will run it to 9.5 this week end.

I have 3 OG X Chemdog plants that need to come down this week so those will go first. These three have a OG Kush that was put into flower as the plants in this thread that also will need to go this week end.

It is going to be a busy two weeks coming up. I have 11 plants to be trimmed and then 12 to load back in. Plus I have to take the fans off of 6 in another room starting next Tuesday.

Yesterday I started the flush. The OG Kush will likely get the chop this coming weekend. It is looking close to done. The others will most likely be next week. The 10th is the ten week mark for the plants.

Thanks Joesy. About a week till final chop, then about a week till final count.

One thing I did and should not have I believe was take so many fans at the start. I think it caused smaller buds then could have been. I took them so that I could make sure that I killed the mites before flower. Oh well they still look frosty, just a little smaller. Next time maybe I should let them releaf before the flip for a week. They had the root system to do it in a week. The growth during stretch showed that. But hey there are no mites.

So now it is just a waiting game. :tumbleweed:

Tomorrow is the last day of week nine and I will get some pics. And then it is all down hill till the chop. :skiiing:

Hey I could be your future Number 1 customer!

I was hoping to trade my root aphid for your mites.

Please tell me what your mites smell like.

The root aphids smell like potential failure and undiagnosable stress, with a hint of cinnamon chocolate, maybe mexican chocolate, the spicy variety.

Mites smell like lab ass. You know wet dogish. But the smoke is incredible, kind of burnt flesh taste with a bit of tightness in the wallet. The bag appeal is great as well. Really fluffy lacy web look with small bug dropping like things.

To bad I killed them. The OG Kush really puts the tightness out there because it is a small producer to start with.

OK people keep giving me a hard time about how much I trimmed this room before flower. So here is another room that is 22 days into flower that was not trimmed like this room. No mites no trimy.

Those ducts pipes at the ceiling have their bottoms at 7 feet from the floor.

Here you can see how much light is trapped by the reflectix.

So now you know I don't trim it all till it is nearly bald. Yuck who likes bald chicks. Well I suppose if they put out like this room and there are six in the room.

wow looking good! clean shaven or bushy.

is this a side by side your doing?

too bad about the mites i was eager to trade with ya.

Ill take a clone of second pic in post 311, in fact you can clone the long flat paper looking bud thats sticking out. As long as the majority of its there it should root in my bank account cloner just fine.

IME it`s ok to trim , prune , and shape laterals for when they`re introduced into the bloom rooms and flipped , but strippin leaves when yas`re growin bigger plants does nothin but stall em out and cause recovery time that adds time for em to finish guaranteed.......

When that nuthin ass Jrosek talked me into strippin my Chem D`s at 3 weeks into flower and then again on day 45 , my bitches took 2 FULL weeks extra to finish at what I`d been pullin @ 10 weeks , so Icky.....and I know you know this.....

Once stretch is over start strippin every fan with a stem gradually over a several day to week period slowly till the only ones left are the 1-3 leafers juttin outta colas......

End of stretch is not that easy to determine even though it`s guaranteed 40% of the flower cycle , folks rely on breeder`s suggestions on finish times waaaaaay more than when the plants would finish in their optimum......

When stretch is completely done , no more foliage or rootmass will be built cuz the hormonal changes in the plants will have started suckin juice and storin it for swellage that only happens during lights off ......

What they do during lights on is pump resin as a survival tactic if optimum watts per sq ft are in place with dialed environment...

Lotta folks tryta keep temps in the bloom rooms too low in late flower just cuz most folks have been told higher temps are a no-no , but.....

As long as major air exchange is maintained mid 80`s lights on and mid 70`s lights off produces 1 helluva finished product.......at least it did for me.....

My winter runs/rotations never got as frosty as my others , and I can only attribute it to lower temps overall since I never ran heaters in my rooms , only a/c`s if needed , with dehuey`s and major air exchange twice per minute.......

I see a lotta potential in the rooms Icky..........Keep dialin.....just quit rapin em too soon ........even though I know yas were gettin rid of critters......aight......

Nuff outta my old ass fer today......

Peace.....DHF......:ying:.......

No i am not doing a side by side just the one room. The picture is one of my other rooms.

I keep trying to clone that papery bud but it is a lot of work. And it does not always work.

I took most of the fans the day I put them in flower. One for the critters and two to slow down the stretch some as they were pretty tall. In one of the pictures of the sour bubble cross I showed it hitting the ceiling. I think this hand the unintended consequences of making smaller buds as well as slowing the stretch some. The buds are still frosty and dense just smaller than I would like. Next time I will wait a little longer to grow some of the fans back.

I still think I will get well over 2 pounds out of this room.

I took the fans starting at about 4.25-4.5 weeks. I had the other rooms to clean up first. So it was well past 40% for the OG Kush which is done in nine weeks, and just past 4-% for the others which are ten week strains. I have trimmed to early and suffered the slow down in the past. So now it is usually 4 weeks before I start stripping fans and it takes me a week or more.

Tomorrow night (Saturday) I will be trimming the OG Kush 6. Is there anything you guys want me to get pictures or notes on before I do?

that sour bubble x sssdh might actually be a sour d. If I could have seen the nugs through the mold and the mites weren't biting my hands causing me to drop them I might have been able to tell... Anyway, that plant stretched A LOT. Sour D imo.

Your jokes still suck.
